Two parallel plate capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ each having capacitance of $10 \mu F$ are individually charged by a $100 \, V$ $D.C.$ source. Capacitor $C_1$ is kept connected to the source and a dielectric slab is inserted between its plates. Capacitor $C_2$ is disconnected from the source and then a dielectric slab is inserted in it. Afterwards,the capacitor $C_1$ is also disconnected from the source and the two capacitors are finally connected in parallel combination. The common potential of the combination will be $......... \, V$. (Assuming dielectric constant $K = 10$)

Five similar condenser plates,each of area $A$,are placed at equal distance $d$ apart and are connected to a source of $e.m.f.$ $V$ as shown in the diagram. The charge on the plates $1$ and $4$ will be:

Three identical capacitors $C_1, C_2$ and $C_3$ have a capacitance of $1.0 \mu F$ each and they are uncharged initially. They are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure and $C_1$ is then filled completely with a dielectric material of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$. The cell electromotive force (emf) $V_0 = 8 \ V$. First,the switch $S_1$ is closed while the switch $S_2$ is kept open. When the capacitor $C_3$ is fully charged,$S_1$ is opened and $S_2$ is closed simultaneously. When all the capacitors reach equilibrium,the charge on $C_3$ is found to be $5 \mu C$. The value of $\varepsilon_r = . . . . $

Two thin conducting shells of radii $R$ and $3R$ are shown in the figure. The outer shell carries a charge $+Q$ and the inner shell is neutral. The inner shell is earthed with the help of a switch $S$.

The distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $5d$. The positively charged plate is at $x=0$ and the negatively charged plate is at $x=5d$. Two slabs,one of a conductor and the other of a dielectric,both of equal thickness $d$,are inserted between the plates as shown in the figure. The potential versus distance graph will look like:
